Chrissy Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Okay, all I recognized out of that was beans! Can you translate the rest of it for this American, Kell? Sausage (toad) in batter (the hole) with large cut fries (almost potato wedges)! Tonight we are having chicken with potatoes and young tender cabbage. We need good comfort food tonight - it's been a long week so far!
Stephanie2008 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I love Toad in the hole Good choice Kell. I've decided I'm having a cheese and tomato pizza for tea (I prefer the plain ones )
Suzanna Addison Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Roast Duck Curry With Chips and Rice and home-made bread.
Peacefield Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Sausage (toad) in batter (the hole) with large cut fries (almost potato wedges)! Hey thanks, Chrissy! Sounds kind of what we call 'Pigs in a Blanket' here .
Rawr Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I honestly have no idea as i have to wander down to tesco to pick something up.
Stephanie2008 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Hey thanks, Chrissy! Sounds kind of what we call 'Pigs in a Blanket' here . Are Pigs in blankets not more like a sausage roll? That's what I always thought they were, sausage in pastry. Toad in the hole is more like yorkshire pudding batter. Although I'm probably wrong.

I need to go to the English pub we have downtown and ask for it off the menu I guess .
lexiepiper Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I thought pigs in blankets were sausages wrapped in bacon? Edit: Okay I've just checked, in the UK it's sausage in bacon, in the US it's sausages wrapped in dough
Stephanie2008 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I thought pigs in blankets were sausages wrapped in bacon? I think thats the British version whereas in America its like sausage rolls. I don't know. Its very confusing
lexiepiper Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I think thats the British version whereas in America its like sausage rolls. I don't know. Its very confusing I agree it is!
Peacefield Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 LOL So very confusing! But I must admit, now I have a craving for it - lots of good memories in this dish. Maybe I should stop at the market on the way home...
poppy Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 I think OH has been watching too many cooking programmes on TV. Last night we had smoked saveloys and he said, "I'll just leave them on the bench to 'rest' for a while."
Stephanie2008 Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 We're having Christmas dinner today, turkey, chippolatas, roast potatos the lot. It's only 6 months til Christmas so we decided to have Christmas dinner.
poppy Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Because our Christmas is in the summer, quite a few people have a mid-winter Christmas dinner here, so you would fit right in Stephanie We also have a mid-winter light display in the shop windows and I often wonder what tourists think of santas and reindeers and Merry Christmas signs winking at them in June (these Kiwis are crazy )

Talisman Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 fish fingers and chips for us - I am starving already, as they weren't any left over roast potatoes at work today
SweetiiPie85 Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 We had Faggots, baby potatoes and peas. Never had Faggots before they are really nice.
Nicola Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 I'm looking forward to Strawberries, banana & merange (sp?) nests
Peacefield Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Turkey chili for me tonight. Cooking now and looks like it'll get me quite a few meals this week .
